5.3 Hinged chip guard (Fig. 4)

Unscrew the three screws (21). Push the transparent cover (23) into the groove of the red mounting frame (24) and fasten it again with the screws (21).

The height of the cover (23) is infinitely adjustable and can be locked using both thumb screws (22). The chip guard (13) can be fl ipped upwards to change drill bits, however ensure that the chip guard (13) is back in its initial position before restarting the equipment.

5.4 Prior to using the machine for the first time

Ensure that the voltage of the mains supply complies with the specifications on the rating plate. Connect the equipment only to a socket with the properly installed earthing contact. The drill is equipped with a no-volt trip that is designed to protect the operator from an undesired restart following a drop in voltage. Should this happen, the equipment must be physically restarted.

6. Operation

6.1 General (Fig. 2)

To switch on the equipment, push in the green On button "I" (18); the drill starts up. To switch off, press the red Off button "O" (19); the drill shuts down. Ensure that you do not overload the equipment.

If the sound of the motor drops in pitch during operation, it is being overloaded. Do not overload the equipment to the point where the motor comes to a standstill.

6.2 Fitting tools to the drill chuck (Fig. 1)

Make sure that the power plug is removed from the socket-outlet before changing tools. Only cylindrical tools with the stipulated maximum shaft diameter may be clamped in the drill chuck (10). Only use a tool that is sharp and free of defects. Do not use tools whose shaft is damaged or which are deformed or flawed in any other way. Use only accessories and attachments that are specified in the operating instructions or have been approved by the manufacturer.

6.3 Using the quick-change drill chuck

Your drill is equipped with a gear-toothed drill chuck (10). In order to insert a drill bit, fl ip up the chip guard (13), insert the drill bit, then tighten down the drill chuck using the supplied chuck key. Pull out the chuck key. Ensure that the clamped tool is firmly seated.

Danger! Do not leave the chuck key in the clamp hole. Doing so will cause the chuck key to be catapulted out, which could cause injury.

6.4 Setting the speed (Fig. 1/6/7)

First switch the equipment off, then pull the power plug.

The various spindle speeds can be set by moving the V-belt.

Proceed as follows:

• Remove the screw (16) in order to open the V-belt cover (7).
• Slacken the tightening screw (15) and push the motor (8) in the direction of the machine head.
• Move the V-belt to the desired position.
• Refer to table (Fig. 6) for the recommended speeds.
• Tighten the V-belt by pushing the motor (8) away from the drill head (6). Screw the tightening screw (16) back down again. The tension is properly set when the V-belt flexes in the middle by approx. 1 cm when pressed.
• Close the V-belt cover and screw down using the screw (16). The V-belt cover (7) must always be locked tight, as the equipment is equipped with a safety switch that only allows the equipment to be turned when the V-belt cover (7) is closed.

Danger! Never let the pillar drill run when the V-belt cover is open. Always pull power plug before opening the cover. Never touch the V-belt when it is rotating.

6.4.1 Drill depth stop (Fig. 8)

The drill depth can be set exactly by means of the depth stop (14) and a scale (a) on the front side of the machine head. The equipment must be switched off in order to set the depth stop.

• Insert the required bit (6.2) and turn the setting screws up.
  • Using the handle, move the bit so that its tip just touches the surface of the workpiece and read the value indicated on the scale.
• Remove the workpiece.
• Add the required drill depth to the value you read off the scale and use the handle to lower

GB

the bit until the value you calculated is indicated on the scale.

• Turn down the lower setting screw as far as it will go.
• Secure the setting by turning the upper setting screw against the lower setting screw.

Danger! When setting the drill depth of a cylindrical hole you must add the length of the drill tip.

6.5 Setting the angle of the drill table (Fig. 5)

• Slacken the carriage bolt (26) under the drill table (4).
• Set the drill table (4) to the desired angle.
• Tighten down the carriage bolt (26) in order to lock the drill table (4) into this position.

6.6 Setting the height of the drill table (Fig. 1)

• Slacken the tightening screw (5).
- Set the drill table (4) to the desired height by pressing down or lifting up and simultaneously (gently) pushing to the left or right.
- Screw the tightening screw (5) back down again.

6.7 Clamping the workpiece

As a general rule, use a machine vice or another suitable clamping device to lock a workpiece into position. Never hold the workpiece in place with your hand! When drilling, the workpiece should be able to travel on the drill table (4) for self-centering purposes. Ensure that the workpiece cannot rotate. This is best achieved by placing the workpiece/machine vice on a sturdy block.

Danger! Sheetmetal parts must be clamped in to prevent them from being torn up. Properly set the height and angle of the drill table for each workpiece. There must be enough distance between the upper edge of the workpiece and tip of the drill bit.

6.8 Working speeds

Ensure that you drill at the proper speed. Drill speed is dependent on the diameter of the drill bit and the material it is made from.

The table below acts as a guide for selecting the proper speed for drill bits made from various materials.
